Black Sheep
Saw a trailer for this last night. I'll definitely have to go and see it - it revels in its absurdity.
Just posting to note that it used RockGolf's "Violence of the Lambs". |

I enjoyed it, perhaps because I had low expectations, even though I had to trek to Enfield (at the far north of Greater London) for the privilege. As I don't actually like gore/horror etc., perhaps I have seen fewer and less similar films than demonic has. There is something quite funny about how much a threat to New Zealand such a turn of events would be. And interesting that neither of the other characters bats an eyelid when Experience tells them her (apparently reasonless) name! |

Her review was approved on 26th January, so I'd be surprised. (I know that it was first shown in 2006, but presumably not widely.) |

I think just the premise of the evil sheep is enough for me. I don't care if I'm disappointed by this film (when I eventually manage to get hold of it ). When I was young and we drove past fields full of animals I always found sheep intrinsically funny. They dot the landscape like balls of cotton wool. But I also find this eerie. Gary Larson, the Far Side cartoonist, has a thing about cows. But I've always thought that his cartoon with the cows going on all fours when humans pass by would work better for sheep. They act incredibly stupidly, and seem so passive. Suspicious if you ask me . I also love the sheep in the Wallace and Gromit cartoon A Close Shave. Shaun the Sheep even has his own series now. |

Saw this tonight and I'm sorry to say it is almost entirely without merit - I can't quite believe it got a big screen release. Of course I didn't expect it to be much of a horror film given the premise, but I was hoping for it to be a bit funnier or more in line with the kinetic excess of Peter Jackson's early films. It tries very hard indeed to be funny and got very boring very quickly as a result. Worst culprit is the New Age environmentalist love-interest "Experience", who is laboured with endless toss about chakras, auras and feng shui, and the inevitable sheep shagging jokes which barely raise a smirk. The gore is plentiful and the sheep creatures are very well realised - the only plus point (although fumbled completely in the directing and editing - that's what you get when a world class effects studio work on a poorly conceived project), but even the creature effects are derivative of previous, better films. Such a shame. Turns out my review was sadly prophetic. |

You're right. RockGolf, I've reported yours. Please don't delete it as Clara should get the votes.  |

Ups, I forgot about that. 
But knowing myself, I'll probably switch back to it after a while. |

I don't get how the review applied to Killer of Sheep, sorry. 
but here's a real life 'violence of the rams'
I love the threat 'I should have made a sweater out of you' |

O yes. 'Felt the winds of nickname change. 
I should probably keep this line under my avatar, like not to confuse people. |
